How does variable data printing work?
At Mesh Banners, every mesh banner printing project begins with a “static” artwork design template and a set of unique data to be incorporated onto each final product. Thanks to cutting-edge digital printing software, our process allows for the simultaneous printing of both the static artwork and the individualized data onto each mesh banner. This eliminates the need for manual creation of multiple variations, streamlining the process and ensuring that your mesh banners are expertly customized with ease.
What do I need to set up a VDP print run?
Creating custom mesh banners with the power of variable data printing has never been easier. All you need is a “static” artwork design file that includes all elements that will remain the same across each final product, and a spreadsheet saved as a CSV file that contains all the unique data you wish to incorporate. At Mesh Banners, we make the setup process for your mesh banner printing project simple and straightforward, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your design.
What if I want to print unique images on each item?
Printing custom mesh banners with variable images is a breeze with Mesh Banners. All you need to do is add the file name of each image to your database, and send us a folder file containing all of your image files, as well as your static artwork file and your database file. If you encounter any difficulties along the way, our team of experts is always on hand to assist. Simply reach out to us, and we’ll be happy to help.
How can I specify how VDP elements are arranged on my print design?
At Mesh Banners, you have multiple options for including your variable data when placing an order for custom mesh banners. You can leave a note with your order at checkout, or you can utilize placeholder text or graphics on a separate layer within design programs such as InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator. Once you’ve submitted your order, we’ll provide a digital proof of your design that clearly displays the placement and appearance of the variable data elements. If any adjustments are necessary, just let us know and we’ll be happy to make the necessary changes before printing.
If you are unsure about variable data or have any questions then call us on 023 8087 8037 or email us.
